ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

Sweet and swing-y, these Victorian drop earrings are a beguiling blend of color, sparkle, and shimmer. Dangling from a single natural pearl, a vibrant hydrangea-blue 2.20 carat oval sapphire is accented by four glinting rose-cut diamonds and by small sprays of 'leaves' twinkling with tiny rose-cuts. Fringes of pearls add the pretty finishing flourish to these charming jewels. Total diamond weight, .35 carat. Hand fabricated in silver over 14K gold, circa 1890. The original screw backs have been replaced with 14K gold ear wires. Accompanied by a gemological report from Stone Group Laboratories stating: Ceylon (Sri Lanka) - origin, Natural. No Indications of Thermal Enhancement. For those times when a set is in order, the earrings match bracelet: 40-1-11241.

About Victorian Jewelry

The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
